South Africa vs Pakistan | 1st Test | Johannesburg | 2/2/13 | Day 2

[doctordamor]

this is worst bowling display by pak in a long time, I can understand that on SC pitches and I grant u pitch has eased a bit but still pathetic bowling

 

[ekpakistani]

but why didn't we drop that catch?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hafeez is such a handy cricketer.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Wicket gifted, bad shot bad ball

 

[Sledger]

SA seem to be in ODI mode now, probably want Pakistan batting soon.

 

[Square Drive]

Poor shot.

 

[alberto]

Bad shot by Petersen!

 

[Bullet Drive]

In comes Hashim Amla. The ultra aggressive Amla.

 

[DW44]

In before Jibran Ansari comes up with the usual 'Gul got lucky' tripe.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bring on Junaid & Ajmal.

 

[Bullet Drive]

NO.1 batsmen in the world for me comes to the wicket.

 

[saiyan0312]

The batsman were playing away from their body. They just bowled in the channel of uncertainty and got out.

But that means that our batting line up was not good enough. 9 caught behinds show how clueless we were in batting.

 

[Bullet Drive]

82-1.

 

[Sledger]

Amla in, need to bring on Younis.

 

[ekpakistani]

Amla to be out soon

 

[Bullet Drive]

Look at how comfortable Hashim is as soon as he walks in, that's what makes him so special.

 

[Square Drive]

We should really try bundling them out under 200 here. We're lucky Alviro played a poor shot.

 

[akamaka]

gul bowling cross seam

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor short ball by Gul.. poor directio.

 

[easy_like_sunday]

South africa in a hurry now andi think i know why, has any one seen the weather forecast for tommorow? its rain with some sunny spells but the last 2 days the weather is proper bad, i hope it comes back and bites south africa in the backside for not enforcing follow on

[Bullet Drive]

Nicely bowled this time by Gul.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Amla to be out soon

Really, wow you got some insight friend.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very good bowling by Gul to Amla.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wicket maiden for Gul, well bowled.

Ajmal will get Smith this over.

 

[alberto]

Umar Gul has done his bit for the inning! He indeed wastes the new ball.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal to Amla, will be nice to watch.

 

[ekpakistani]

disappointing run rate by SA .. 3.72 ... should have been more aggressive

 

[Square Drive]

I have to pray Fajr. Will do so after the next boundary.

 

[ekpakistani]

Ramiz is the worst commentator ever

 

[Bullet Drive]

Goodness me. Already Ajmal is bowling around the wicket. Negative line.

 

[alberto]

Ajmal is going to bowl his defensive line!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal should try to bowl a little more full to Amla, Amla loves the backfoot.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not good enough in the field there by Junaid.

 

[saiyan0312]

misfields happening...... (

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beauty by Ajmal.

 

[the Great Khan]

i think india is the only team over the last 3 years amongst the top 5 teams that has not been shot out for less than hundred in tests even once!even sa were dismissed for less than 100 in the cape town test against aus in 2011.
and remember india has played tests in wi,aus,eng and sa in the last 3 years.
respect to indian ftb's

Haan jee aap loag peechay naa ray jaiyn..dil boht khush ho ga aap ka aaj...typical

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well played by Amla.

 

[ekpakistani]

bring on younis to get amla out ..

 

[ekpakistani]

Amla looks uncomfortable out there ..

 

[easy_like_sunday]

South africa in a hurry now andi think i know why, has any one seen the weather forecast for tommorow? its rain with some sunny spells but the last 2 days the weather is proper bad, i hope it comes back and bites south africa in the backside for not enforcing follow on

[Bullet Drive]

Bad ball by Gul. Too wide.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Gul gets 2 wickets now!!!!!!

 

[Square Drive]

Good comeback!

 

[ekpakistani]

Smith is out .. ha ha

 

[Bullet Drive]

That was a beauty this time. Cross the seam does well.

 

[Sledger]

Smith out, that was an excellent ball.

Great innings by Smith.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Well done Gul, Smith is upset as he should be.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bad news now, Kallis is in

 

[Bullet Drive]

I think PAK will cause a collapse here for SA. PAK to get them out under 200.

PAK will chase 400

 

[Sunny786]

Gul gets Smith

 

[saiyan0312]

smith gone..... We need alot more.

 

[Asif321]

gulli baba is excellent with old ball ....

 

[Square Drive]

We can bundle them out under 200 now.

 

[alberto]

Nothing shots by SA batsman!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Finally a wicket on a good ball for Gul.

 

[ekpakistani]

87/2 ... soon more wickets coming as well .. SA wil be lucky if they reach 150

 

[battler]

gul on fire!

 

[ekpakistani]

pls injure Kallis ..

 

[Square Drive]

3rd wicket to fall before SA cross 100. MARK MY WORDS. Kallis will not score more than 25 today.

 

[Sledger]

Kallis in, Amla has showed intent to score so far so this should be an interesting partnership.

 

[alberto]

We can bundle them out under 200 now.

Pakistan are going to still lose.My 3-0 prediction of SA winning may come true.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar Gul now averages 33.36 in test cricket.

 

[DW44]

Umar Gul has done his bit for the inning! He indeed wastes the new ball.

And that is why talking out of your rear end can make you look like(even more of) an idiot. 2-14 in 6.2 overs, wasted the new ball indeed. Given how often this has happened(you and a couple others post rubbish, Gul comes in, picks up 3 or 4 wickets, you go 'he's lucky.. yada yada yada'), one would think anyone with some self respect would take their cue and give up.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan are going to still lose.My 3-0 prediction of SA winning may come true.

No way.

PAK will win next 2 tests.

 

[Bullet Drive]

beautiful by Kallis

 

[Bullet Drive]

He's so good to watch is Kallis, technically great. Just a flourish through the off-side did the job.

 

[Square Drive]

Lovely shot, four.

 

[Bullet Drive]

138kph by Gul.

 

[Bullet Drive]

91-2 after 24 overs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

This should be fun to watch. Amla vs Ajmal.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I think what Ajmal needs to do is go over the wicket to these batsmen. By going around the wicket he makes him self bowl a negative line.

 

[Square Drive]

I guess it's just me and my drive brother (Bullet) who are strong supporters here? Pakistan will NOT lose 3-0 in this series.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Easy singles allowed to both Amla & Kallis on the leg side.

 

[saiyan0312]

PAK will chase 400

We have a better chance of getting them all out for just 1 run.

 

[Bullet Drive]

161 matches.

13102.

57

287

Kallis's numbers. WOW.

 

[Bullet Drive]

'Kallis was 150kph every ball' - Ramiz Raja

 

[Square Drive]

Commies trying to jinx Kallis.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amla averages 56 away from home. WOW.
